One of the greatest ever anti-war (Iraq) speeches by the late, great Tony Benn:
“What fools we are to live in a generation for which war is a computer game for our children and just an interesting little channel for news item.
Every Member of Parliament tonight who votes for the Government motion will be consciously and deliberately accepting responsibility for the deaths of innocent people if the war begins.”

“People are becoming more aware of the amount of money that ends up in the pockets of merchants of death. With that money, hospitals and schools could be built. Instead, those already built are being destroyed.”
“Don't judge each day by the harvest you reap but by the seeds that you plant.”

China added more solar capacity in 2025 than the United States has built, total, in its entire history.
We are not building solar fast enough in America.
There has been no harsher critic to U.S. military action in Iran than Pope Leo XIV:
“War is back in vogue and a zeal for war is spreading. The principle established after the Second World War, which prohibited nations from using force to violate the borders of others, has been completely undermined.
“Peace is no longer sought as a gift and a desirable good in itself, or in the pursuit of the establishment of the ordered universe willed by God, with a more perfect form of justice among men and women.”
“Instead, peace is sought through weapons as a condition for asserting one’s own dominion.
“This gravely threatens the rule of law, which is the foundation of all peaceful civil coexistence.”
I wish we lived in a world where I didn't feel constantly compelled to post this video, but until then here's Tony Benn speaking on war with clarity and moral conviction that you won't see from the evil people running the world today
“Come you masters of war.
You that build all the guns.
You that build the death planes.
You that build all the big bombs.
You that hide behind walls.
You that hide behind desks.
I just want you to know I can see through your masks.
Let me ask you one question, Is your money that good?
Will it buy you forgiveness, do you think that it could?
I think you will find, when your death takes its toll, all the money you made, will never buy back your soul.”
— Bob Dylan
